Some changes have been made to the security on a folder to only allow access to certain people. &nbsp;Long story short there was a miscommunication and things went bad.<br />
<br />
Our folder structure looks like this<br />
-----------<br />
-Docs<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;-SOP<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -Eng<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;-SomethingElse<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -Eng<br />
etc.<br />
----------<br />
<br />
When I changed the security on the Docs folder, the same security settings got set to all folders and files below, like it should. &nbsp;But when I changed it to its &quot;correct&quot; settins the permissions did not filter down. &nbsp;I fixed everything for the folders, but there is still &nbsp;a problem with the files.<br />
<br />
It seems like the owner of the files is no longer Administrator. &nbsp;I can manually take ownership of these files 1 by 1 and then fix the security. &nbsp;Is there a fast way for changing the owner of these files so I can set their security settings correctly?

Permissions and Ownership of files all messed up

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
